Does WindowsSpyBlocker do anything to block spying from within Office?

Hey all -

Big fan of your work, thanks for making something that makes Windows more bearable to use and manage. Still, I was wondering if the software does anything to block any spying that happens from the OTHER flagship Microsoft product: Office?

Specifically, there's this lovely "feature" wherein Microsoft uploads every keystroke and pictures to their mothership to just help with alt-text generation (and surely nothing else, perish the thought). Edge, apparently, does something similar with it's spell checking, per infosec expert Kevin Beaumont: https://mastodon.social/@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social/109632341701975927

Does WindowsSpyBlocker specifically target these leaks, or tangentially work to inhibit them through the firewall rules it creates?
